    Show all children from different categories

    Hi,

    I have this structure on my site:

    -- Home
       -- Cast & Crew (doctype: Portfolio)
         -- Cast (doctype: PortfolioType)
             -- Child 1
             -- Child 2
         -- Crew (doctype: PortfolioType)
             -- Child 1
             -- Child 2
         -- Scenes (doctype: PortfolioType)
             -- Child 1
             -- Child 2

    Child 1 + 2 can have different doctypes.

    My problem is that I can't figure out how to show all children under (Cast, Crew, Scenes) my code only render out the children from the first category (Cast).

    My code looks like this:

    @inherits Umbraco.Web.Mvc.UmbracoTemplatePage

    @{
        var portfolio = CurrentPage.Down(1);
    }

    <section class="module pb-0">
            <ul id="works-grid" class="works-grid works-grid-masonry [email protected]("imagesRow") works-hover-w">
                @foreach (var item in portfolio.Children)
                {
                    <li class="work-item @item.Parent.Name">
                        <a href="@item.Url">
                            <div class="work-image">
                                <img src="@item.thumbnail" alt="">
                            </div>
                            <div class="work-caption font-alt">
                                <h3 class="work-title">@item.title</h3>
                                <div class="work-descr">
                                    @item.Parent.Name
                                </div>
                            </div>
                        </a>
                    </li>
                }
            </ul>
    </section>

     

    Thanks in advance!

    Hi René,

    When you want the children and grandchildren of an item you can use the Descendants(); method. And I assume that you content is structured so the items in children under your home item.

    If so then I think something like this should work for you, if the item has it own document type.

    @inherits Umbraco.Web.Mvc.UmbracoTemplatePage

@{
    var portfolio = CurrentPage.AncestorOrSelf(1).Children("DocumentTypeAlias").First();
    var descendants = portfolio.Descendants();

}

<section class="module pb-0">
        <ul id="works-grid" class="works-grid works-grid-masonry [email protected]("imagesRow") works-hover-w">
            @foreach (var item in descendants.Where("Visible"))
            {
                <!-- Portfolio item start -->
                <li class="work-item @item.Parent.Name">
                    <a href="@item.Url">
                        <div class="work-image">
                            <img src="@item.thumbnail" alt="">
                        </div>
                        <div class="work-caption font-alt">
                            <h3 class="work-title">@item.title</h3>
                            <div class="work-descr">
                                @item.Parent.Name
                            </div>
                        </div>
                    </a>
                </li>
                <!-- Portfolio item end -->
            }
        </ul>
</section>

    Remember to change the "DocumentTypeAlias" so it match your case.

    Hope this helps,

    /Dennis
